Nostalgic co-hosts John and Tim continue to listen to Dr. Carter Biggers as he continues to discuss his doctoral dissertation on the History of the Hawkeye Marching Band. Part 3 of the interview looks at the eras most of our listeners know best: Dr. Morgan Jones, David Woodley, Dave Henning, and Kevin Kastens. Dr. Biggers gives us a fascinating look at the history of the Hawkeye Marching Band.
Part 1 looked at Carter's methods and how he put the thesis together, the HMB's military beginnings in 1881, their time as a student-led ensemble, then eventual organization under the first Director of University Bands, Orie Van Doren (1911-1937).
Part 2 covered the tenures of Charles Righter, Fred Ebbs, Frank Piersol, & Dr. Tom Davis (1937-1973)
Part 3 goes through the Morgan Jones, David Woodley, David Henning, and Kevin Kastens (1973-2012).
